NY Methodist Hospital

Has anyone delivered their baby there? I am wondering what your experience there was like. I heard that some hospital give you things like diapers and baby meds to take home, did you get anything in Methodist?

Hey there, I delivered my baby girl there 4 months ago and I loved it. All the nurses were very nice to me, they didn't mind that I had 15 people visting at one time. My baby slept with me the 3 days I was there. And when I was leaving they gave me a goodie bag! (It had diapers and formula and other things that I don't remeber LOL)The hospital is very clean, I just LOVED IT! I highly recommened for you to have your baby there. I know I'm having my next baby there.Good luck,Marwa

I'm not as enthusiastic about Methodist. It's probably because I gave birth on New Years Day but I was overly anxious to go home. The worst of it was how I was treated by one nurse during my labor. She yelled at me not to yell at her. If I wasn't in so much pain, I would have cussed that old bitch out without regard. It was a good thing my sister was there with me.

I delivered my son last Tuesday in NY Methodist. Its my first baby so I have nothing to compare to, but I thought the staff and the facilities were quiet nice. Unfortunately due to the swine flu they dont really allow visitors right now which was kind of annoying but otherwise I have no complaints :)

I have been trying to reply to this for over a week, only to get logged off or it just won't post :( grrrrrr! Anyway, both me and my brother were born in Methodist and that is where I will be delivering. A friend's cousin delivered there in March and was given a bag of diapers and some formula. I think a few other things too, but I don't remember. I am going on the tour of L&D on Sept. 1 and can't wait.

I am grateful to hear mostly positive reports from you all about Methodist. I will be delivering there at the end of October. I went to their L&D class, so I got my tour through that. I will give a negative report about the faculty obstetric offices&#39; ability to relay messages to the doctors. I have had two communication breakdowns with them on rather sensitive issues: last year with a blighted embryo, and this year with medication. Office staff aside though, I am guardedly optimistic. My OB is Dr. Bush.

(btw: the secret to getting through to the docs is to use either the word "emergency" or "contraction")

Do they give tours at Methodist? I&#39;m trying to decide whether or not to use an OB that practices there but I want to check it out first to compare to Lenox Hill. I had a not so great experience after a surgery at Methodist - lots of very unpleasant nurses and major miscommunications in terms of getting pain meds -- BUT, I know the NICU is supposed to be great there so it&#39;d be nice to have that incase we need it.
